2015 Annual Meeting, 20th Anniversary conference
EPFL, Lausanne, June 9 and 10, 2015

During 20 years, major innovations in biomaterials, design, fabrication and performance have improved our quality of life. Today, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are exploring and adding new opportunities. Interactions between research, industry and clinics have continuously been promoted to reach sustainable applications in tissue and organ repair or regeneration.

In 2015, the Swiss Society for Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine (SSB+RM) organised with EPFL a two-days conference dedicated to ‘Biomaterials: past and present’ combined with the Annual Meeting and the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Society.

The conference included invited lectures by Prof. Matthias Epple, Prof. Marc Bohner, Prof. Jos Malda, Prof. Peter Frey and Prof. Sally Mc Arthur.  Sessions took place on Biomaterials, Biofabrication and Regenerative Medicine with oral and poster presentations.
